Liquid Level Sensor for Food and Beverage Measurements

March 31, 2011 By Randy Frank

Stuff that sticks to the sides of the container makes accurate level measurements difficult. The LMT Series from ifm efector specifically addresses this problem for viscous media and powders in food and beverage processing tanks and pipes.    High frequency (MHz) capacitive spectrum profiling technology enables the sensor to ignore foam and deposit build-up and differentiate […]

Pricing Concerns for Proximity Sensors? Check This Out.

February 21, 2011 By Randy Frank

Should sensor manufacturers proactively develop more cost-effective sensors? Balluff thinks so. Its announcement of a line of economical proximity sensors probably won’t start a price war but it should be good news to users for a variety of applications. The company’s Global.CProx line of capacitive sensors offers many of the same features of it existing […]

Touch Sensing in a Remote Keyless Entry System

October 26, 2010 By Randy Frank

At Convergence 2010, Atmel’s Toby Prescott demonstrates touch sensing in a remote keyless entry system. The capacitive touch sensing capability is provided by the ATA6617, a LIN system in package solution. Atmel’s QTouch Library enables a number of touch applications. Convergence has been the premier automotive electronics event since 1974. This year’s Convergence had a strong focus […]
